An aspect of creative worship you are passionate about?
I am probably more passionate about the visual aspect, followed by the actual design and then the musical part. My partner, my wife is the opposite, so we match up well.

A favorite creative moment in worship?
My favorite moment is watching those you have poured yourself into as they step into leading into worship for themselves.
